Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled
"Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for
my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner
or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly
come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of
money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

First, I must solicit your confidence in this
transaction. I am a high placed official working with Department of Finance
(& Economic Affairs), in Cape Town South Africa. I and two other colleagues
are currently in need of a silent foreign partner whose identity we can use to
transfer the sum of FIFTEEN Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars USD15, 500,
000, 00. This fund accrued legitimately to us as commission from foreign
contracts, through our private connections.

The
fund is presently waiting to be remitted from ABSA bank here in South Africa to
any overseas beneficiary confirmed by us as associate/receiver. By virtue of our
positions as civil servants in my country, we cannot acquire this money in our
names.Because as high placed civil
servants, we are not allowed by the civil service code of conduct to own or
operate bank accounts outside of our shores. On the other hand, it is not safe
for us to keep the money here due to unstable political environment.

I
have been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues, to look for an
overseas silent partner who could work with us to facilitate transfer of this
fund for our mutual benefit, hence the reason for this email.

What
I am requesting from you is:

1.To be our silent partner and receive the funds as the sole
benefactor to the contract amount which we shall secure all legal documentation
to authenticate our claim.

2.Provide a private telephone and fax number for easy communication
under your control.

3.Receive the funds as the beneficiary, take out your commission and
keep the rest of the money until I arrive there to meet you after the transfer
is completed.

My
proposal is that after you receive the funds, it would be shared as follows: (1)
15% to you as commission for your co-operation and assistance in facilitating
the transfer, while the remaining 85% belongs to me and two colleagues. You will
be free to take out your commission immediately after the money hits your
country. Since our objective is to invest the money in a foreign country, it
would be appreciated if you could also help us with advices and direction on
investing into profitable/lucrative ventures in your country for an additional
3%.

However, this is optional, and if it is not convenient
for you to further assist us with investing the money, we can end our
cooperation after you make available to us our part of the money.

The
transaction, although discrete, is legitimate and the money will be transferred
successful with all necessary back-up official documents showing legitimate
source/origin of fund. The transfer will be affected within a period not longer
than two weeks as soon as we reach an agreement and you furnish me with a
suitable response indicating your interest for processing the transfer. I plead
with you on one issue, whether you are interested or not, kindly do not expose
this information to any one else.

I
confirm that the transaction is legitimate and without any risks either to us or
yourself. Please, give me your response immediately by return mail through my
alternate email address: khumalo.william@gmail.com

Yours Faithfully,

Mr. William
Khumalo
